Yep. It's a one of one custom naked carbon fiber motus. Fairing was a prototype for a special project and now it's mine. :cool:

That,s sweet. I was always been interested in Motus, especially how they ride. I have owned several VFRs over the years and last an ST1300 that I got ride of several years ago. I would imagine its a blast to ride.
Never heard of it, had to look it up, very cool ride
Here's one like mine (don't have any shot yet):
65075
Got it a couple of weeks ago. It's a 2015 with 2100-miles.

^That's a good piece of equipment; my wife has about the same bike and really likes it. Here are a few more bikes for the good of the cause:
65156
65157
65158
Although it has not run in a decade due to a broken cylinder head stud, the Ducati 900 SS-SP is my favorite, followed by the Cervelo S1, my criterium bike and by far the best-handling piece of equipment I have ever operated. The YZ450 I could live with or without; I would go back to a YZ250 2-cycle immediately if I were still riding more than sporadically.

Thing has as much torque at idle as most liter bikes at peak. An absolute beast.

That Norton took me a year to complete, I was amazed at the mods that have been made, like trans bearings, ignition systems, oil drain back check valves, 18" wheels, drilled discs. Paint was done in OR and it was perfect. I was a dealer for them back 72 - 76 and sold hundreds of them. I bought this one in boxes on eBay and then restored to as new as I could. Can't believe how much tougher it is to start than when I was in my 20's.
Ijust got a V-Strom last month. Grew up on dirt bikes and haven't had one for over 20 years and bought a DRZ400 4.5 years ago just to see how I liked it. As like normal I've wasted no time to start the mods getting it set up for some long rides this year.
Never heard of Motus either- Beautiful bike.

I have 2 Bikes, #1 is a 2009 Yamaha Stratoliner, #2 is a Victory Cross Country tour. I may a bit older that you folks so I like the creature comforts and luggage space.
The Yamaha is a 1852 cc and the Victory is about 1635 or so. 6 speed
Godadgo, we can hope someone steps up and maybe moves the production to Canada etc. I did some research, some of the technologh designed for the Victory line was used in the Fake Indian motorcycle line. My dad rode a REAL 1934 Indian. I have an issue with this move.

My Dad is in the Middle, the Indian on the right was his. On the left is his Brother Carl, the Harley was his. The story that goes with the pic is around 1934 +- 2 years they bought Motorcycles in Wichata Kansas and rode out to Logan Utah where my dad was enrolled in Civil Engineering. THat would have been quite ride back then, on old route 30.
